It’s amazing how much botanical work was done generations ago and left totally un-revisited.
There’s a species of Liatris in the Flora of Virginia that hasn’t been seen in the state since 1938. I might have re-found it, but for now the scientific consensus on it in general is 🤷♂️
Same is true with spiders. "Recent literature" has such different meanings in different fields. It means "in the last year" for medicine, "since 2015" for evolutionary theory, and "since 1990" for spider taxonomy and systematics.
